Navigating Marginality and Agency Among Migrant Women

Migrant women often navigate multiple forms of marginalization, frequently encountering barriers to employment opportunities, legal protections, healthcare, and social networks that place them in vulnerable positions. Through their resilience, adaptability, and strategic decision-making, migrant women actively shape their lives, support their families, and contribute to the economic and cultural development of both their home and host communities. Examining the relationship between marginality and agency among migrant women provides valuable insight into how structures of power and inequality influence migration experiences. Further exploration may reveal the diverse ways women resist, negotiate, and transform their current constraints. Navigating Marginality and Agency Among Migrant Women explores the intersection of education, identity, and empowerment among migrant women. It examines how education enables women to negotiate the complexities of urban migration, preserve cultural heritage, and assert agency in societies that often marginalize their ethnic and gender identities. This book covers topics such as educational policy and reform, women's studies, and policymaking, and it is a useful resource for sociologists, educators, government officials, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
